Goji Berry and Superfruit Craze


With the 21st Century, an increase in the availability of exotic super fruits to developed Western countries combined with a rapidly growing number of health conscious consumers has fostered a superfruit frenzy in developed Western nations.   Currently the introduction and distribution of products featuring goji berries, or goji berry extracts, is currrntly in its prime.  Goji Berry has played a prominent role in the superfruit craze.  In the year 2007, sales of goji berry products increased over 150% in natural supermarkets, and by almost 2,000% in conventional food, drug and mass combined.  Given the tremendous health benefits often attributed to goji berry, these numbers come at no surprise.
